Question

a shop owner determined that there was a zero correlation between the number of pairs of shoes sold and the temperature. which scatter plot shows a zero correlation between the number of pairs of shoes sold and the temperature? a b c d

Explanation:

A zero correlation means that there is no linear relationship between the two variables (number of pairs of shoes sold and temperature). In a scatter - plot with zero correlation, the points are randomly scattered and do not form any upward or downward trend.

• Option A shows an upward trend (positive correlation).
• Option B shows a somewhat irregular but not completely random pattern.
• Option C shows a downward trend (negative correlation).
• Option D shows a random scatter of points, which is characteristic of zero correlation.

Answer:

D.
